a half over the railway wage question,
which Is threatening n nationwide rnll
wny strike. At the end of this time the
conferees took nn adjournment until 4
o'clock this afternoon.
Before the seslon it was stated by
the president of the unjon that If the

the situation. An niniounccment after
the meeting snld the government wns
willing to continue negotiations with
the union, it being declared, :i "mis

General consternation is loed by
London newspapers, the lflnjority of

which the nntionnl union of rallwaymen
lnunched Its threat while there wns yet
three mouths for the temporary agree

of the government's handling of the

hnd granted nn absolute divorce to Ills
wife, Alma Dodworth Tnrtouc. "Im-uo'-sible!
A Frenchman is never cruel
to his wife, except by heaping her with
flowers. And nbusc! Is it abusive to
give n woman nil the beautiful things
in life, to tnke her on trips nrnund tin
world, to shower her with silks and
velvets and jowelrV? That is what I
did, and now my wife (barges me with
being cruel.
"Ah, well," lie lidded, shrugging his
shoulders, "I suppose jou have to have
some grounds, even in the Maine coutts.
"Our marriage wn the result of a
bet. Mrs. Tin tone docs not know tills,
and none of her friends know it. 1 bet

"I saw her for nl five minutes.
I could not speak Ijtigllsh very well. 1

weeks, nnd I wns most unhnppy because
in three weeks I would have to go buck

an engagement arranged between our
two families. 1 did not love her. but
the trousseau was nlreinlj bought. There
seemed to be no escape.
"So I had this Idea of the bet. Miss

The most wonderful Father
in the world w
So thought the four boys who romped
through the halls of the litc House throw
ing pillows at the President of the United
States!
Don't miss the delightfully intimate and
wonderfully inspiring story
Theodore Roosevelt;
the Father
by Hermann Hagedorn, author of "A Boy's
Life of Koosevelt." He tells about the great
ex-President as Ted, Archie, Kermit and
Quentin knew him.

News stands
TO BECOME "the most wonderful
father, " Roosevelt worked as hard
as he did at everything else, and studied
as much. And many of the things he
learned will prove tremendously help
ful to other fathers and mothers.
Being a father was a beautiful "job" rath
him, and one that nevor wearied or never bored
him. The relationship between himself and his
children was tender, splendid, enduring, stimu
lating. He never broke a promise to them and ho
never failed to punish them when he said ho
would.
The simple philosophy of life that he
taught his boys is told in five short para
graphs, and it will fit every boy yes, and
girl, too in America.
The whole story is told as only this writer, who
is a member of the Executive Committee of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association and who inti
mately know and loved Roosevelt, could tell it.
To every reader it will bring a deeper appre
ciation of this outstanding American character
and prove an inspiration.
While to fathers and mothers of boys this
story might well be worth the price of a life's
subscription to The Red Crosi Magazine instead
of the paltry 20 rents the October lbsue co.sts.
A New way to Rule
the Unruly Dollar
AS A YELL-KNOWN editor
remarked the other day,
"Somethfng has happened to our
good old dollar bill. It still looks
liko a dollar, all right, but it buys
like fifty cents."
In one of the most interesting,
as well as thought-provoking,
articles that has appeared for a
long time
Irving Fisher
Professor of Political Economy
in Yale University
tells the real reason why we are
living on a fifty-cent dollar.
"It isn't tho profiteer," says Pro
fessor Fisher. "He simply happened
to bo tho lucky winner in tho lottery."
No; "profiteering, trusts, labor
unions, strikes, marketing by tele
phone, extravagance, drought and all
the forty other explanations which have
been offered havo about os much influ
ence on the II. C. of L. aa a rainstorm
has on tho height of Pike's Peak."
What then? Tho real fault lies with
our dollar.
Professor Fisher proposes a brand
new kind of a Dollar, a most interesting
Dollar representing, not 25.8 grains of
gold nine-tenths fine, but:
2 board feet of lumber
120 of a bushel of wheat
of a pound of meat
30 pounds of coal
1100 of a barrel of white flour
I pound of sugar
1 pint of milk
1 egg: 1 ounce of butter
17 of an ounco of wool
l of a pound of steel
1 ounco of copper, etc.
And he's serious about this Dollar,
too. Furthermore, it has the approval
of many well-known men President
Hadley of Yale, Frank A. Vanderlip,
George Foster Peabody, Henry. L.
Higginson, Roger W. Babson, John
Hays Hammond, and many others.
You aro going to hear a great deal
about Professor Fisher's new Dollar
before long. Get The Red Crots Maga
zine for October and learn, first hand,
allaboutitrightnow. As a well-posted
man or woman you can't afford to miss

An interview with
Paul D wight Moody
AssL Chief Chaplain of the A. E. F.
You'll be rather startled, per
haps, at some of the things
Chaplain Moody, son of the
noted Evangelist, has to say
about our ministers who went
to France with the A. E. F.
and those who didn't.
You'll learn why a machine gun
battalion made up of Baptists, Roman
Catholics, Jews, Methodists, Presby
terians and probably somo agnostics
all answered "Roman Catholic" to
their names when the roll was called.
You'll bo thrilled at his little story of
tho British despatch bearer who made
a beautiful prayer with a curso as he
trundled qut, his motorcyclo ,and
started on a dangerous errand.
You'll learn why nearly every execu
tive job of a religious nature in the
overseas army was held by a Congre
gational chaplain, and which two
churches got closest to tho men.
And you'll understand why tlio
returning chaplains won't be content
to "take up tho old life of choro boy to
tho Woman's Aid Socioty."
This is no ordinary story. Chaplain
Moody speaks right out in meeting
nonestly, leanesaiy ana Jaxny.

Fifty Thousand Cows
Milked twice a day are required to furnish the
butter needs of our stores every day in the year
Every herd is made up of select cattle carefully inspected. We use
only the product of the Best Creameries.
Further, by way of information the average farmer with 100
acres of land will keep ten milch cows. On this basis it would take five
thousand farms, one hundred acres each, or five hundred thousand
acres of land altogether to supply the food, care and shelter for the cows
necessary to supply the daily butter needs of the great American Stores'
chain.
Reader, there is just one answer to this immense output
Quality. Let us prove it to you to-day.
